"This 2014 vintage is the fruit of one year enclosed by an exceptional Indian summer, which brought to our grapes the period of sunshine necessary for an optimal maturation of fruits. It is the result of all the team’s work, which surrounds me at Noaillac." —winemaker

"This wine stands out because of its marked fruity character which brings out all the qualities and characteristics of the Mencia variety. Its time in the barrel accentuates these qualities by providing subtlety, elegance, and complexity. In the mouth, it is silky, fruity, with persistence and great kindness." —winemaker

"Having begun our venture in the Blaye region with Chateau Puynard in 2016, just five years on we received the keys to Chateau Magdeleine Bouhou In January 2021. Having admired the terroir here for some time, we set our sights on broadening our offering by adding another Blaye vineyard, but which offered a slightly different terroir and aspect to that of Puynard. Both vineyards have their own character, and we feel with both properties together, we have a strong offering that showcases the Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation very well." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review- A right bank Bordeaux that delivers with delicious flavor and exquisite, smooth drinkability. Perfect for a "daily drinker" this bottle has just entered it's "sweet spot" going past 5 years in the bottle. Pop it open, give it a little time, and enjoy one of our finest under $15 bottles. Cheers!

"Deep garnet red, with purple highlights. The bouquet mingles black fruits (blueberry, blackberry), spices and perfectly integrated wood. The palate is rich, round and fresh. Impressive and yet fine tannins, very promising. A long finish with vanilla aroma." —winemaker

Blend: 5% Cabernet Franc, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot
